Weston Stainless, Midland, UK, is a prominent distributor of high-quality stainless steel products, offering dependable and precision-engineered solutions to different industries. Their Stainless Steel 304/304L Sheet and Plates are produced from AISI 304 and 304L stainless steel, which is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and weldability. These sheets and plates come in different shapes, such as hot-rolled, cold-rolled, perforated, and checkered designs, making them adaptable to different uses. Fabricated from austenitic stainless steel, they find extensive applications in construction, food processing, chemical, marine, and automotive sectors, providing superior strength, formability, and resistance to high temperatures.
Stainless Steel 304/304L Plate and Sheet are made up of 18-20% chromium, 8-12% nickel, 2% manganese, 1% silicon, 0.08% carbon (304), 0.03% carbon (304L), 0.045% phosphorus, and 0.03% sulfur, so they have remarkable corrosion resistance as well as weldability. Mechanical properties are 515 MPa tensile strength, 205 MPa yield strength, 40% elongation, and 90 HRB hardness for durability and hardness. Physical properties include a density of 8.0 g/cm³, a melting point of 1400-1450°C, and a thermal conductivity of 16.2 W/m·K, and thus they are suitable for industrial and structural use.

Good corrosion resistance. The thickness of this type of stainless steel ranges from 3mm to 100mm. The sheets and plates are available in sizes up to 1500mm x 3000mm. Suitable for structural applications and industrial uses.
Great corrosion resistance, 304L cold-rolled sheets and plates are well known for smooth finish. These are available in thicknesses of 0.5mm up to 12mm, standard sizes up to 1500mm x 3000mm. They are ideal for applications requiring high-quality surface.
Superior corrosion resistance, 304L chequered sheets and plates are designed for anti-slip applications. They typically come in 2mm to 6mm thicknesses and sizes up to 1500mm x 3000mm. They are commonly used in flooring and stair treads.
Excellent corrosion resistance, these hole-perforated sheets and plates come in different hole patterns, size, and thickness with a specified range of 0.5mm to 6mm, standard dimension up to 1500mm x 3000mm, suitable for filtration and decorative uses.
304 shim sheets and plates have good corrosion resistance. They can be as thin as 0.1mm. Standard sizes can go up to 1500mm x 3000mm. These are used in machinery for accurate spacing and adjustment.
Excellent corrosion resistance and a high-gloss finish. Thicknesses from 0.5mm to 12mm, and sizes up to 1500mm x 3000mm. Aesthetic and architectural applications.
Stainless Steel 304/304L Plates and Sheets are extensively utilized in industries demanding corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. They are used in construction, food processing, chemical, marine, and automotive industries for the production of storage tanks, heat exchangers, kitchen equipment, and pressure vessels. Their high formability and weldability make them suitable for architectural facades, roofing, piping, and industrial machinery. These plates and sheets also find applications in pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and power generation industries, providing long-term performance in hostile environments. Their low carbon content in 304L avoids carbide precipitation, and hence they are ideal for high-temperature and corrosive use.
Stainless Steel 304/304L Sheets and Plates are provided with Mill Test Certificates (MTC) EN 10204 3.1/3.2, third-party inspection reports, and industry standard compliance certificates for guaranteeing quality and standards. They are carefully packed in wooden crates, pallets, or protected with plastic covering and metal bands to avoid any damage during transportation.
